Don't run out of gas here

it's not even Top Tier Gas...

http://www.kion46.com/news/local/sto...b-77e6dc9249bc

GORDA, Calif.- Gas prices in California are at an all-time high. The statewide average price for a gallon of regular is now 58 cents more per gallon, than the same time last year.

But, there is one place on the Central Coast where you can expect to pay more than $5 a gallon. The Americo gas station in the tiny coastal town of Gorda, about 40 miles south of Big Sur, is selling gasoline for $5.19 a gallon for regular, and $5.39 for premium.

Despite high prices, the local gas stop grabs customers, without any competition. And according to locals, the pain at the pump isn’t over yet… as they plan to raise the prices another 20 cents in the coming weeks.

Your title is not quite correct. It's actually quite a nice place to run out of gas I've stopped there multiple times.

So, the gas costs a little more... There's no other gas station within 30 miles and it's a hassle for the fuel trucks to get to.

lol.....a little more? I don't know about you, but a 40% increase over what I normally pay is pretty outrageous. I'm sure it's a beautiful place, but to charge that much is robbery. Hawaii is not even that much...it's a beautiful place and it's pretty out of the way. It's remoteness doesn't justify the price.
